KICK-OFF We're underway at the foot of the mountains. Trent Hodkinson kicks off.

The Knights have been forced into a late reshuffle. Brendon Elliot misses out after originally being named at full-back so in to the 17 comes Joe Wardle, a recent signing from Huddersfield Giants in the European Super League. Peter Mata'utia is at full-back, brother Sione in the centres, Luke Yates moves into the back row from the bench, while Wardle will provide cover across the field after being named as an interchange.

The Panthers are without James Fisher-Harris so in comes Corey Harawira-Naera who starts in the back row.

Friday's dinner time NRL offering comes from Pepper Stadium; the Panthers will be hungry to notch their second win of the year over the Knights. Newcastle also sit on two points heading into the round.
